This one starts outside Canada Water library, opposite Canada Water station (SE16 7AR) and takes a round trip to Dulwich Park and back. Return by 12 noon (usually on the dot)

It's a repeat of ride on June 11th last year and a round trip of 11 miles with some gentle uphills. It's a useful way to learn the way to Dulwich Park if you don't live near there. Some of the social rides will be starting from there during the summer.

The outward route will follow the railway paths (NR425) through Bridgehouse Meadows, Brimington Park, Peckham Rye Park. Returning the group will take Crystal Palace Rd, Peckham Square, east edge of Burgess Park, Southwark Park. Mostly quiet roads or paths. A few major road crossings, but all straightforward. Route at https://goo.gl/IWkKmN.

Those of you who came on the ride last week will know this already but for those that didn't: please make sure you have a spare inner tube and carry it with you on the rides. Last week we had a puncture that was not reparable so we needed an inner tube and the bike had 26" wheels, which is smaller than most of us so no-one had a spare the correct size. Big delay.... For more info phone Bruce on 07729 279 945

  Well worth signing up to become a "supporter" as they send their updates and often shed light on things the council and their supporters would rather didn't get too much attention! https://www.onedulwich.uk/get-involved

  Spot on...and they rant against "anonymous" groups like One Dulwich and then post missives from "anonymous" lobby groups like Clean Air Dulwich without any sense of hypocrisy or irony...

  The original council proposals for the area around the Dulwich cross roads were made well before Covid - and were rejected then by locals. The council used the Covid legislation to push through the LTNs when opposition was not allowed. LTNs, as experiments were some good (reduced traffic in areas which did not push traffic elsewhere and which did meet the needs of residents - typically in places very well served by public transport and where the topology (absence e.g. of hills) allowed wide use of cycling and walking - not as it happens a good description of the Dulwich (inc ED, WD and ND) areas.) Dulwich never met Southwark's own description of ideal LTN areas, but did happen to match Southwark Councillor ambitions dating way back. One Dulwich has been clear, I believe that it is anti this LTN but not, necessarily all LTNs per se. But as it is One Dulwich is has not stated views about LTNs in general. In the main those prepared to make a view known, in Dulwich, have not supported the Council's LTN ambitions locally - whilst some, living in the LTN area, have gained personal benefit. But it would appear not even a majority of those living in the LTN area have supported the LTN. And certainly not those living immediately outside the area where traffic has worsened. As a resident of Underhill, a remaining access route to the South Circular, I can confirm that I am suffering increased traffic and blockages in rush hours whilst living some way away from the LTN. All this - 'I want to name the guilty parties' -' is One Dulwich a secret fascists cabal whose only interest is being anti-Labour?' conspiracy theorising is frankly irrelevant - whoever they are they seem to represent feelings of a majority of actual residents either in the LTNs, or in parts of Dulwich impacted by the LTNs. And I'm beginning to find these 'Answer me this...' tirades frankly irritating.
